Review: Dare To Wear Strobe Light

Hello ladies :)

If you read my post about the last Exposcosmetics2013 you know I came home with a Dare To Wear polish to review. I went to the expo with a list featuring all the Dare To Wear colors I had to personally see and most likely get lol. Lechat Dare To Wear is an American Brand and it's not every day that I have the chance to see such glitter pretties personally in Portugal right?? :p Buuut the brand was being presented and not selling their polishes (I believe they were expecting more polishes to arrive soon). Anyway, I got home with my most wanted Lechat polish: Dare To Wear Strobe Light! :D

I'm not really a big fan of bar glitter, but amongst such golden complexity I find it gorgeous! Strobe Light belongs to the Disco Tech collection and its what we call a glitter bomb! Overall, the dominant shade is that kind of gold that I find very wearable and elegant, a cooler gold shade. It has a gold jelly base filled with large gold hex, bars and holographic microglitter. I layered one coat of Dare to Wear Stobe Light over two coats of Big Universo Aurum. I find the color very elegant and suitable to a gorgeous black dress and with this idea I added a coat of Marylins Nº121 polish in the ring finger. This polish was a birthday gift from Raqueland consists in large black glitters in a transparent base :)

Can you see that shine?? Believe me when I tell you my camera didn't capture it truly! All pictures are indoors. When I went into the sun I couldn't stop staring at my nails... I often stopped in the middle of the street to take closer looks to the holographic glitter (yes, people were staring at me too... LOL). That microglitter really brings this polish more to live! Regarding the application, Strobe Light brings the perfect quantity of glitter in the soft brush, allowing even glitter spreading in the nail and an easy application. It dries fast and I applied two coast of Color Club top coat to smooth the nail. In the next two pictures please focus on the bottle to see the gorgeous shine, impossible to capture in nails!

After so many pictures you can see why I love it :) But as Strobe Light has a golden jelly base it isn't as easy to choose a base color as transparent base glitter polishes. My suggestion is to apply it over champagne shades. There is something I don't like but is it bottle related, not polish related. The bottle neck is tall, taller than most of my polishes. Still on the bottle, I love the fact that the lid has a rubber finish, which gives more sense of control when painting nails :) Lechat Portugal has many more collections and glitter bombs (stay tuned on their facebook page) and did you know you get a free normal polish if you buy the correspondent (Perfect Match) gel polish?? (you can send me the normal one!) :p In Portugal, each bottle costs 4,86€. I loved this polish very much and have to advise it to all gold lovers :)
